Help my biscuits are too dry!

I got mixed up and baked them at 325 deg. Instead of 425 deg.   It took way tooong , and then I realized my mistake.   I need to moisten them a bit for dinner tomorrow.  Any ideas?

@Nicecupoftea  If they're not ruined, try gently steaming them.  Keep checking on them, turning over and/or around to distribute the steam evenly.  Don't let them get too wet, though.   

 

Edited to add:  Alternatively, wet them down somewhat liberally, wrap them in a towel and rewarm them in a low oven.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

I would not try to save them.  Make fresh ones, it's worth it!  

 

Nothing like a good hot biscuit.

I made some the other night that were like hockey pucks. That was using Bisquick too.  I used almond milk and I think I'd had the Bisquick awhile so I'm blaming it on that.   It's disgraceful making something that bad with a mix.

Don't you just hate making any dish and for whatever reason it does not turn out to be what you expected!

 

I made Chicken Noodle Soup last week.  No, don't use oregano, basil and garlic!  It was the best homemade broth and the final taste was so disappointing!

Yes I decided to freeze them and make a breakfast casserole

sometime.  Tomorrow I will make more at the correct temp.

@Kachina624    That reminds me of the old (80's)  microwave cake mixes......I bought one once, and it came out like stone.   Figured I did something wrong..........so I tried another one.   What was I thinking??????

@Nicecupoftea,Sounds like you worked too much flour into the biscuits when kneading.  

 

Soft, moist dough makes soft, moist biscuits.

@Kachina624,That sounds like too much liquid.

@Kachina624  Have you made biscuits using Almond Milk that turned out light and fluffy?  It it keeps pudding from setting up, maybe that is the problem.
